Cyrillic «Б» is not supported in tag names

[peremenov]

Cyrillic «Б» is not supported in tag names: you cannot type a tag which includes a capital «Б» or a small «б» since plugin considers it to be a Latin comma.

Невозможно напечатать букву «Б» в имени метки.

Could you identify if the the bug is on client-side or server-side ?

On client-side we use the library https://github.com/aehlke/tag-it, but our
version is two years old
nowhttps://github.com/ixti/redmine_tags/commit/6cbf7cc38113c435828663a50e74bc49740bc2f0,
and maybe updating it could solve the issue... Or switch to another library
(I am thinking Select2)...

[peremenov]

I think the bug is on client-side.
Client-side plugin uses key code (instead of symbol code) for identification of comma-sign. «Б» key on Russian keyboard layout is the same as «,» (which has the same key code) on English layout.

P.S. Try to update tag-it library.

[peremenov]

Looks like this is not fixed in tag-it ( aehlke/tag-it#251 )

[PowerKiKi]

Can you confirm if it is working with Select2, on their demo page ?

[peremenov]

Confirmed. Works well.

[peremenov]

Probably this is a solution aehlke/tag-it#324

In order to make a little clean up on this repository, we're closing all the issues older than 1 year.

Please check the latest version of the plugin and reopen this ticket if the issue/feature is still available.

[ixti]

Well, this one is actually still exist. As it's a bug in tag-it that we use.

[ixti]

These are issue tickets related to this bug in tag-it:

• Comma detection broken on foreign keyboards aehlke/tag-it#22
• Russian letter "Б" is seen as a separator aehlke/tag-it#140
• Russian comma key doesn't work aehlke/tag-it#222
• Tag it plugin doesn't work with cyrillic 'б' letter aehlke/tag-it#251
• cyrillic keyboard layout, problem with "Б" key aehlke/tag-it#262
• The letter "б" in the russian layout aehlke/tag-it#324

Issue was reported on tag-it 4 years ago and still not fixed.
I think we should probably switch to other module, e.g. the one that @PowerKiKi proposed: Select2.

[marius-balteanu]

Ok, I'm reopening the issue.

[PowerKiKi]

Since my last comment on this issue Select2 had a major version released (with lots of cleanup). That may make it an even better candidate. But we should be sure that it still works with latest version before implementing it...

[marius-balteanu]

Ok, we'll try in the next days to move from tagit to select2.

[marius-balteanu]

I made some tests yesterday and I don't think that we can move now easily from tag-it to select2 v4 (latest version) because of the incompatibility with other plugins that we use in our company (A Common Libs that uses Select 2 version 3.4.1 and Restrict Tracker that depends on A Common Libs).

We can try to move to Select 3.4.1 or to wait for A Common Libs to adds Select2 v4.

[ixti]

Select2 v 3.4.1 will work perfectly fine (because it does not adds tag upon special chars - it waits for user to hit enter, or unfocus of input element).

[ixti]

Seems like this was fixed as of #140
